The Trump-iest congresswoman of them all now claims she was a victim of the Capitol riot.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who staunchly backed ex-President Donald Trump's effort to overturn his election loss, said Tuesday that the mob of Trump's own supporters were actually gunning for "ALL of us" when they stormed the Capitol building.
She claimed the rioters, who sought to prevent Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's win, actually "RUINED" Trump's plan to overturn the election.
"If the #Jan6 organizers were Trump supporters, then why did they attack us while we were objecting to electoral college votes for Joe Biden?" Greene asked in a tweet. "The attack RUINED our objection that we spent weeks preparing for, which devastated our efforts on behalf of Trump and his voters."
Greene said she was "very upset, scared, and terrified for ALL of us ... every Member (Republican) and (Democratic)," and says she "made a video telling people to stop and they should protest peacefully."
In fact, the rioters were vocal supporters of Trump and his staunch backers like Greene. Many of them also proudly showed their support the right-wing QAnon conspiracy of which Greene is also an outspoken adherent.
The only Republicans targeted by the rioters were those like Vice President Mike Pence whom Trump accused of being a sell-out for not joining his overturn efforts.
The rioters reportedly came within a minute of cornering Pence before he was whisked away to safety by Secret Service agents.
After the violent attack, the Senate reconvened and voted to confirm Biden's win over the objections of Greene and Trump allies like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.).
Greene's claim to have been frightened by the riot is belied by the fact that she has openly supported violence against Democratic leaders and backed "putting a bullet in the head" of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Greene was booted from her committee assignments last week over her past support for political violence and conspiracy theories that claim mass school shootings are a liberal hoax to build support for gun control.
